Quantic

Multi-instrumentalist, prolific producer, DJ and lover of all things Latin, the UK's Will Holland, aka Quantic, hits Rio this month to join forces with the combined might of Daniel Tamenpi and Marcelinho da Lua for a night of downright freaking funk at Studio RJ. Signed to the Brighton-based label Tru-Thoughts, Holland has recorded with the likes of Mr Scruff, Alice Russell and Spanky Wilson during his 11-year career, as well as releasing four albums with his ever-morphing full live band, Quantic Soul Orchestra.

Packing that kind of musical CV, then, it is little wonder he has been snapped up for a very special edition of birthday boy Da Lua's Tuesday night vinyl jam Ya'Ya Hi-Fi for a weekend outing, alongside Tamenpi, the man behind revered São Paulo session Só Pedrada Musical. Plenty of funky sounds, loose-limbed dancing and thick green smoke likely in Ipanema, then, but for a perfect introduction to the Quantic sound, check out the ten-year retrospective mix by the famous J.Rocc on Soundcloud.
